Comedy Quotes

You don’t want to continue to do one thing and only one thing. You want to keep challenging yourself and if you do well at it, great, if you fall on your face, you tried. Like, she’s really terrible at comedy! Who knew? But if you didn’t try and put yourself out there you’d never know Picture Quote #1

Comedy is much more challenging, because you have to have the same level of belief but you have to make people laugh, and that’s definitely a challenge Picture Quote #1

I like to challenge myself not to be negative, because it’s easy to take comedy to a negative place and criticize the outside world. Trying to praise something through comedy or be appreciative and making jokes about it is more challenging than cutting things down Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t exactly uncomfortable when I did my first comedy. I was just very aware of the risks; if you do a comedy that sucks, and you suck in it, then you won’t get a chance to do it again Picture Quote #1

I love doing comedy, and I don’t get a chance to much. I get to play lots of serious people, and killers, and people with a lot of... sheriffs. Good people and bad people, but lots of drama, and to get a chance to be genuinely silly is a great treat for me Picture Quote #1

For me, I believe comedy’s about taking risks, taking chances, working in a safe environment where you’re comfortable making a fool of yourself. It’s so critical, especially in comedy, to just have all those right pieces in place Picture Quote #1

Comedy’s my first love. I love that so much. You play comedy in drama, too. The difference between genres doesn’t really change the method of acting Picture Quote #1

With comedy, the jokes will come out, and people will see them coming. Changes in daily life or current events can change the consciousness of audiences and can make the show less funny or feel more stale Picture Quote #1

You really have no idea whether or not what you’re writing is funny. In stand-up and sketch comedy, you know right away and you can make your changes accordingly Picture Quote #1

Two things are not debatable: eroticism, and comedy. If you don’t think it’s sexy, or funny, there’s no way I can change your mind Picture Quote #1

My hopes and aspirations haven’t changed since I started in this business. They’ve been to be able to play drama, to be able to play comedy, to be able to play leading men, and to be able to play character roles. I have no other aspirations in this regard Picture Quote #1

I like doing what I do, but I like having the opportunity to do different things, and obviously comedy would be a fun jump. I’ve just been lucky enough to stay working. In my case, playing intense roles or playing character roles is something that people will hire me for, but yeah, I’d like somebody to think I’m funny. I guess we all do, right? Picture Quote #1

When you see Charlie Chaplin, he stays funny. He doesn’t become drama, and so what really seems to endure is comedy Picture Quote #1

Comedy is a universal language. I grew up watching Nagesh, Surilirajan, Thenga Srinivasan and S.V. Shekhar’s comedies. And, of course, Charlie Chaplin! These artists are so blessed: they can make other people happy Picture Quote #1

I love romantic comedy, but I think you have to have another idea that you’re chasing along with romantic comedy Picture Quote #1

Because comedy is cheap to put on: if you’ve got a play or an opera, there’s a whole load of people and a set, but comedy is just one man or woman. And because TV has learned to love comics - there’s so many more around now than when I started out Picture Quote #1

Every time I’ve done comedy in, like, traditional comedy clubs, there’s always these comedians that do really well with audiences but that the other comedians hate because they’re just, you know, doing kind of cheap stuff like dancing around or doing, like, very kind of base sex humor a lot, and stuff like that Picture Quote #1

I know it’s going to sound cheesy, but I love show business. I love doing comedy, I love that I get to do all this with my friends Picture Quote #1

The dueling maturity levels in high school is such a source of comedy to me. I was always such a late developer. I was last to walk. I was last to ride a bike. I was last to have sex. That’s why it’s fun to portray one side of your childhood onscreen Picture Quote #1

If I do a poetry reading I want people to walk out and say they feel better for having been there - not because you’ve done a comedy performance but because you’re talking about your father dying or having young children, things that touch your soul Picture Quote #1

My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven’t got that, it’s very sad Picture Quote #1

A comedy isn’t about being funny...a comedy is about characters who dare to know that they may choose a happy ending after all Picture Quote #1

The words we use have weight. Whether it’s in a conversation with a friend or something said publicly on stage or broadcast. And as performers, we know that because that’s why we choose the words we use - that’s the whole point of comedy Picture Quote #1

W. Kamau Bell is in the vanguard of a new era of American comedy for an unsettling, troubling, and strangely hopeful time. Firmly in the fearless tradition of Mort Sahl, Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, and Chris Rock. Comedy as common sense purged of the absurd hypocrisy that is Our America Picture Quote #1

Community’ is a comedy show, and one of the characters happens to be a Christian. I do think they have been very careful to make sure everyone is the butt of the joke for various reasons Picture Quote #1

We had a Judeo-Christian ethic hanging around a couple thousand years that didn’t help erase racism at all. So the notion of the little half-hour comedy changing things is something I think is silly Picture Quote #1

With While You Were Sleeping, it was so much fun and such a Cinderella story, that I didn’t want to do another romantic comedy. I wanted to do the opposite Picture Quote #1

I was always the Class Clown and over time became very good at it. I started doing comedy on stage at the Dallas Comedy Corner where I honed my skills by watching guys like Garry Shandling, Robin Williams, Jay Lena and more Picture Quote #1
